Inhouse Plastic Coil Manufacturing
Gateway Bookbinding Systems Ltd. has been manufacturing plastic spiral
binding for over 35 years. Those years have yielded a tremendous amount
of experience in the areas of plastic extrusion and the forming of coil.
The popularity of plastic spiral binding - although enhanced by the wide
range of available colors, and the numerous diameter/pitch
configurations - presents a challenge to both the manufacturer and the
bindery from an inventory perspective.

As the industry has changed, customers have now come to expect coil
production ‘on demand’. At Gateway we continue to find solutions for the
challenges facing the coil consumer. Understanding the process of
plastic spiral manufacturing, our dedicated research and development
team, incorporating several new innovations never before seen, are proud
to present the Plastikoil® New Concept Former.
It’s a new concept in forming equipment design. It’s a new concept in
manufacturing on demand. The Plastikoil® New Concept Former. Welcome to
the Loop!
